Just some food for thought.........

On this I did forget to emphasise that your name will be posted on this vote (it's public). I really think we are a great group here (No. BS.) We're all adults and if we can't sort this problem out in a civilised way then where does that leave us?
Ok. On this subject of cost.
I believe the problem of the matter resolves on the coding of my idea. I put to the admin that when someone rates a picture that the comment would be connected.. as in imbed within the ratings.. so you couldn't do one without the other.. this is what would cost the site.
As far as I know I am unsure of the costs involved in removing a feature that may of been put as an accessory or add on. If there is a cost.. and it's impossible for us as a community to sort out then so be it.
This question therefore remains hypothetical. I'd like people to vote with the knowledge that if it were possible to take down ratings.. then they'd like to see it removed.
I'm really basing this on my own thoughts and from what significant others have experienced .. as well as the prospect of new members being confused at the alarming picture abuse that goes on here.
If the ratings thing can be taken down and site admin can see that people don't want it.. at least they have the information to hand to deal with this in a civilised and propper way.
